Tor warned storm near Ashland KS showing a very nice hook echo to the immediate SW of the city moving N at 15 mph.. It will be a close one for Ashland... Velocity couple has become stronger in the last scan. Storm also is showing VILs in the 75 range, so in addition to a possible tonado, this monster may have some HUGE hail.....

Another TOR warned storm in Stevens county, KS. Reports by trained spotters of a tornado.

 

[Brandon Lawson]

Storm with nice radar reflectivity and shape w/nw of Fairview. Has a decent velocity couplet with it as well. This storm may be tornado warned soon.

pretty strong rotation from the second storm that formed and is near Fairview

Channel 9 in OKC showing video of two brief touchdowns in the past several minutes. Very impressive meso with periodic funnels.

Best storm one can get for newbies. Orienta, Oklahoma. It's traveling slow(10mph) and producing new touchdowns every few minutes. Some of the news 9 video is impressive with a rope tornado and up to a 50 yard wide classic dark funnel. It's in open area and rain wrapped at times.

There is impressive shear with that cell, but it looks like that area of rotation that dropped the tornado is being undercut by the cell from the south that merged. There appears to be a new meso trying to develop on the southern end of that merged cell.

Is there a news station covering this storm that has a live stream?


EDIT: They just issued a TOR warning for the new center of circulation. Thanks for the link Brian.
